Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

The Web of Science is a licensed online discovery platform and citation index of 21K vetted scientific journals with enhanced search capabilities. It also includes added value tools that provide accurate results to full text literature and data queries as well as answers to significant questions about research impact and funding. Through Web of Science, division staff will also have direct access to FWRI library journal subscriptions. The FWRI mission and programmatic focus on obtaining data and information needed by resource managers and stakeholders requires a single destination to access information across disciplines. The largest challenge to this is our distributed network of offices and office locations and access for this type of information.
